@taiwan_girl said in The Saddle: Are the stirrups different for "Western" riders and "English" riders? YEs, they are. The Western stirrup is usually made of leather with a wide footpiece. Some, however, do have metal parts and some with wood. English stirrups are all metal, with a rubber insert which helps keep your boot in place. In practice, I never noticed a real difference for the type of riding I did. However, the Western stirrup can have a closed portion to it, to prevent shrubbery, etc from getting tangled within it.

Cool name. Reminds me of another collaboration tech tool I used to use called Bluescape.

And maybe the family tree?

@Mik said in Trump's Math Is Faulty: The number you quoted, TG, was heavy weapons. There's more to it than that. Trump's underlying premise of relatively equal financial - or possibly more European - support is correct. Russian tanks are not going to be rolling into New Jersey anytime soon. Maybe this will show more info. https://app.23degrees.io/embed/tAuBi41LxvWwKZex-bar-stacked-horizontal-figure-2_csv_final [image: 1707271312276-img_0587.jpg]

Then maybe he should mind his own fucking business. Oh sorry, that's what he is doing.

@Rainman said in S&P Breaks 4,500: It helps a lot. Writer's block? Don't know how to offer anything different or unique in terms of content? ChatGPT works great as a helping (virtual) hand. But, I don't like it at all. Just FYI: For content, there's what the information is, and there's how you present it. It's very important to find some useful novelty for that second part, and if you rely on that tool for that part, all you'll ever get is an average of what it's pulling from. It'll be better than nothing I guess, but don't delude yourself into thinking it's nearly as effective as a good idea. Still need a person for that.

Elon's helping, LOL.

Scheerhorn and Beard resos are now the preferred standard for Bluegrass. Has been that way since the 1990s for a host of reasons.

@89th Oh yeah. I forgot that part.

If I was the GOP, I'd run a book-burning commercial...

Hell, I got one of those in Portland. I think they call it White Oppressor Tax, pretty much the same thing.

You can't fix stupid.

My wife 's uncle did two combat tours in Vietnam, taking care of unexploded munitions and bomb disposal. Nary a scratch. Blew himself over a slit trench in Sandy Eggo doing a breaching demo for a bunch of boots. Bad fuse.

The jockeys are basically little kids that the import from East Asia. The are almost like indentured servants or salves.

@mark said in Show Cooker vs Dutch Oven: We have 3 Le Creuset pieces. A frying pan, a saucepan, and a Dutch Oven. I love them all. Same.

Great picture!!
